-
Popworld Guestlist Entry
The cheapest way to round off the hen night at £5pp. Queue-jump entry so the girls walk straight in, with a flashing dancefloor and cheesy pop to dance her into the early hours.
-
CSI: Save The Groom
An interactive detective game at £15pp where the hens crack the clues to save the groom before the big day. Run it on your phones whenever suits, no host needed, and it gets even the quietest of the group stuck in.
-
Smartphone Hen Party Treasure Hunt
At £16pp this is the budget winner for bigger hen parties. Built for hens, with pub stops and daft challenges around the hen, and self-run so you start whenever the girls are ready.
-
Silent Disco Tour
Headphones on, dancing through the streets with the girls from £23pp. A great daytime warm-up that has the hen party laughing well before the evening kicks off.
-
DIY Pimp That Penis
The cheekiest craft kit going, delivered to your hen house from £23pp. The girls decorate clay willies with glitter and paint, nothing to pay for a venue or host, and the hen takes home the masterpiece.
-
Line Dancing
A proper routine to country music with bubbly for the bride-to-be, from £26pp. Every hen starts off equally hopeless, which is exactly why the group ends up in stitches.
-
Spice Girls Dance
Learn a Spice Girls routine in a central venue from £26pp, spectators free. Pure girl-power nostalgia that gets the whole hen party singing into their hairbrushes.
-
Dodgeball
Bibs, headbands and a string of mini games from £27pp. Active, competitive and daft in equal measure, perfect for a sporty group.
-
Bubble Mayhen
Giant bubble suits, relay races and a half-time Mr & Mrs quiz, from £28pp. Daft fun for any fitness level and the source of the hen party's best photos.
-
Life Drawing
The hen do everyone remembers at £29.50pp. A male model, an art tutor and a lot of giggling at the girls' sketches. No talent needed, and it goes down a treat with mums and aunties too.
How to Plan a Cheap Hen Party
The trick to a cheap hen do is not cutting everything back, it is spending where it counts. Our hen party planners sort budget hen weekends every week, so here is what actually keeps the cost per person down without the hen do feeling cheap.
Book one standout activity and pad it with budget picks
Most hen parties that keep it cheap book a single highlight, then fill the rest with low-cost options from the list above. A £29.50pp life drawing class, a £16pp treasure hunt and Popworld entry at £5pp gives you a full day and night for well under £55pp on activities.
Get the numbers up
The more hens you have, the cheaper it works out. Rates improve with size, and on packages you book 11 and the 12th place goes free, so a bigger hen party brings the per-person price right down. Group-priced experiences like a buff butler or a cocktail bartender split brilliantly across 12.
Book early for the real savings
Early bookings get the better rates and the slots you actually want. Leaving it late is where budgets blow out, on rushed travel, premium weekend pricing and limited availability.
Use the group payment system
Every hen pays her own share online, so the organiser is not chasing cash or left covering dropouts. It also makes the per-person cost crystal clear from day one, which heads off any awkwardness later.
“Budget hens are some of the most fun weekends we organise. Nobody’s stressing about overspending, so the hen party just focuses on enjoying themselves, and the activities that keep costs down are usually the ones everyone remembers anyway.”

Where to Have Your Cheap Hen Party
Where you go matters as much as what you book. Liverpool and Manchester are two of our most-booked hen party cities, and both give you a cracking night out for less than London or Brighton. Abroad, Benidorm is our most popular budget hen destination, with Lisbon close behind, where cheaper flights and a lower cost of living can work out less than a UK hen weekend even after travel.
For the full breakdown of where your money goes furthest, browse all our hen do destinations across the UK and Europe.
